And thinking that 6 billion humans burning down forests and chucking out megatonnes of CO2 and SO2 couldn't possibly affect a balanced ecosystem is ignorant.
I'm not saying anthropogenic global warming definitely is or isn't happening, but just dismissing it because it sounds arrogant to you is hardly a sign of careful, rational thought, and it certainly isn't scientific.
Uh, you forgot that we're also manipulating nature to keep our civilisation from collapsing. Unless you like the idea of mass poverty, warfare and starvation.
Oh yes. And we've blown it. Bacteria are developing resistance, and some researchers believe community-based MSRA could be widespread in our lifetimes.
Ah, but in medieval times a leader was a good ransom target. Rather than bump you off at long distance with an arrow, often they'd like to get their hands on you alive and make themselves an instant fortune.
They didn't just make this up for Medieval: Total War...
Consider the length of time it takes to go to university, get a decent job and then save up enough money to afford a mortgage in a decent part of the South East of England. Then consider the effect if you add a major money drain at the same time as one of a couple stops working for a year.
'Intelligent' people aren't fucking around on scooters, they're working themselves into the ground on their career to afford the massively overpriced little box that they've had to take out an enormous mortgage to afford. So they wait until they've saved up their cash and climbed the career ladder before having one, maybe two kids.
It'll be more than enough to let a parent stay home, teach with other parents helping and they can save money to send their kids to private upper education.
Come on, how many parents know how to teach children - and I mean really know? And how many know a range of parents with the skills required? And how many could do that by educating rather than indoctrinating? It might work in some middle class intelligentsia areas (I work at a University, so I'd have no problem), but would it work in a sink estate in Glasgow or a ghetto in Los Angeles?
There's plenty wrong with the education system, both in the US and the UK, but your system manages to be even worse. Without a highly educated workforce, we're competing with China and India for cheapness. Your proposal would only educate the educated.
It hadn't been scientifically shown. That's what science is about, actually measuring things rather than just saying "well, we know it's true so we don't need to bother".
How will they catch these people? You've missed the point - it's not the job of the publication process to catch people cheating on their data, it's the job of the scientific community - if a result is irreproducible, then sooner of later people start asking questions. Journals aren't equipped to do full in-depth analysis of papers, and referees are only judging the interest and relevence of a paper. This image analysis is of interest to the journals because it is relatively straight-forward and quick.
As for "sad state of affairs in this scientific community", businessmen and politicians are hardly in a position to point fingers over massaging data and presenting false evidence. Science just suffers from the same human failings as other areas of human endeavour.
The major limitation in photography is the person who takes the photos. Hand an idiot a top of the range camera and you get badly composed photos with excellent colour rendition.
E.g., what if 200 man Phalanxes winning against 20,000 man Tank divisions, on plains, in Civ 3 was actually _intended_? Firaxis sure didn't want to fix it even in the expansions. It was much easier to just roll my own exponential mod than to wait for Firaxis to fix it.
Nobody has fixed that - it's been 'bust' in Civs I-III, Call to Power, Freeciv - it's essentially a sacrifice of realism with the aim of making the game fun (which is the whole point anyway).
The centre is funded by the Wellcome Trust and the UK's Medical Research Council. The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is a non-trading, non-profit making registered charity.
And they tend to make their results open - these are the people who said that the genome should belong to no one individual or company.
In other words, if you want to keep your rights without sacrificing the progress of science - we need more places like the Sanger centre.
Excellent senses, faster speed, but not as much absolute endurance. If the human just keeps walking towards the horse, hour after hour, then the horse can give up before the human does.
Any book you're made to read in high school is difficult and boring, because of the way you are made to read them. You take your favourite film on this list, sit someone down to watch it, and then stop the DVD every ten minutes to make them explain and analyse what they've seen on the film and they'll hate it.
Douglas Adams himself said the only character who had to be English was Arthur. So since the real original is what existed in Adams' head, your claim that this is badly skewed from the original because of accents is a load of Belgium.

So how many of those 400,000 files are from Wikipedians uploading their entire collection of holiday photos? And how many are actually any good?
You Only Live Twice? It didn't *really* suck, anyway.
Yes, the latest version of Opera still automatically identifies itself as IE unless you go in and change it in the preferences.
I want a near indestructible one. Make it bulkier if you have to, just don't let it break.
Simple answer, no. They're not that magnetic.

Part of it is probably inflation, but personally I'm hoping my electricity bill isn't going to double in the next three years...

There's carbon in the rocks and the atmosphere (albeit thin) is Carbon Dioxide.

Mt. Pinatubo put 20 Mt of SO2 into the atmosphere. Reliant's Keystone plant in Pennsylvania produces 171,000 tons of SO2 every year - so that's 1/117th of Pinatubo, every year, from just one power plant in Pennsylvania. http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/Gases/pinatubo.html http://www.ems.org/nws/2005/05/11/newsreport_50_di

I thought the Whale was voiced by Bill Bailey, and he's from Somerset.
Well, from the list in this very thread, glest is RTS.
